The Lost Element

by Pinkie Pyro

End of Harmony

"You may now kiss the mare!" Mayor Mare said to the awaiting couple. Fluttershy was hesitant at first, being the cute shy thing she is. Lucky for her, Rainbow found this adorable. Rainbow scooped her up, and lifted her up in the air.

"Don't forget I love you. Mrs. Fluttershy, may I have the honor?" Rainbow cooed. Fluttershy giggled.

"You already have it." Fluttershy leaned in deeply and kissed Dash. Dash pressed her lips strongly against Fluttershy, and world seemed to melt around her. It was only her and her mare. Fluttershy broke the kiss. Fluttershy's blue eyes were like sapphires. Rainbow smiled.

The crowd erupted into an applause. Twilight, Silver, and Rarity ran up onto the stage to congratulate the newly married mares.

"Did you see that trick?" Bon Bon said to Lyra, who was sitting next to her.

"How could I miss it? That thing was like, 20% cooler than the one she used to get into the Wonderbolts!"

Rainbow Dash overheard this, and asked for a piece of paper. She quickly scribbled something down.

"Hey Lyra!" Rainbow yelled over the crowd. Lyra and Bon Bon both turned and looked. Rainbow Dash threw the flowers at them. Lyra caught it with her magic, as usual. Inside, a note was carefully tucked. Lyra looked at it and giggled.

'I said the same thing' - RD, the Wonderbolt.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Hey, where's Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow asked. Fluttershy was asleep on her back, still in her wedding dress. Twilight looked back and forth. She was gone. Strange, considering Pinkie Pie would party until the place crashes down. Literally. It's happened many times before.

This time, Rarity was the one who spoke up.

"She was heading back to Sugarcube Corner. Heaven knows why. The weird thing was that she was as white as I was, flat hair included."

"Oh no, not THIS again." Rainbow groaned. "I'll get her She seems to prefer it if I do it. Weird." Rarity lifted Fluttershy from Rainbow's back and rested her on her's. Rarity headed back towards her shop, a presumed mess thanks to the 'Cutie Mark Crusader Wedding Afterparty Planners.'

Rainbow Dash flew over to Sugarcube Corner. The night was beautiful, and quiet. A bit too quiet. She shrugged it off as being yet another natural occurence. She slowed down as she approached the front door. Rainbow knocked on the door.

Mrs. Cake opened the door. She wasn't happy.

"She's inside. You messed up big time, Mrs. Dash." Her expression was stern.

"Me? I haven't done anything....."

"Don't you lie to me. She's been in her room for an hour CRYING and constantly repeating 'Why Rainbow why?'" Rainbow was honestly confused. What has Rainbow Dash done that would have upset Pinkie?

Dash ignored the fact Mrs. Cake was standing there and sped upstairs. Rainbow Dash could hear the crying. Rainbow is no expert on love, but she could tell if a person's tears were sadness or heartbreak. This, was obvious heartbreak.

"Pinkie?" Rainbow said quietly.

"GO AWAY MRS. CA- Rainbow Dash?" Pinkamena yelled, depression could be heard from a mile away.

"Pinkie, I wanted to talk to you." Rainbow opened the door. She's handled with Pinkamena before, but this time. This was different. Like Rarity said, pure white. All color had left her body, excluding her mane, cutie mark, and eyes.

"Pinkamena, what's wrong?" Rainbow asked. She obviously had no clue. Pinkamena only chuckled as she arose from her tear-stained bed.

"You have no idea, do you?" Pinkamena Diane said. "Think. What did you do today?"

Rainbow stopped and pondered.

" I ate some roast beef, some chicken, a pizza....."

"LATER THAN THAT" Pinkamena yelled. Rainbow stopped and thought again.

"I ate roast beef, chicken, and a pizza....."

"NO! LATER THAN THAT! JUST NOW. OUT THERE!" She said, flailing around and pointing her hoof towards the stage. Rainbow got it now.

"I married.... Fluttershy?" She said, not completely sure.

"Finally, she gets it right!" Pinkamena said, Gummy with an uninterested stare riding on her back.

"Why does this.....hurt you?" Rainbow asked again, still unsure.

"Somepony is dumber than I thought." Pinkamena replied, adding a facehoof for good measure.

"Pinkie, what's wrong with y-" Her sentence was cut short by the pure whire Pinkie Pie kissing her. Rainbow retailiated, trying to break free. Pinkie kept going, kissing harder. Rainbow gained enough will to push her away.

"Pinkie, you....you love me don't you?" Rainbow said, putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Pinkamena only responded with a sniffle. Rainbow Dash backed off. She couldn't handle this. She just couldn't handle - WHAM. Something hit her on the head. With that, she fainted.

- - - - - - - - - -

Dash awoke with a jump. Where was she? A hospital. She got that. Wait, why is Fluttershy there?

"Dash..... Nice to see you're awake. You suffered a pretty hard hit to the head. When we found you, blood was everywhere. I'm so happy you're okay!" She reached her hoof out and held onto Dash's.

"Fluttershy....where's Pinkie?" Dash said. Fluttershy sighed.

"Here's the sad part. She's gone. According to reports, headed for Canterlot." Dash was struck with confusion. Canterlot?

"I'm glad I have you now, Dash...." Fluttershy gently landed in the hospital bed with Rainbow Dash. "Can we act like we used to when we dated? We just cuddled. I want that...." Flutter gentle nuzzled Dash. Rainbow smiled.

"Only for you." Rainbow felt Fluttershy's hooves wrap around her, and she smiled. Rainbow smiled, but there was something
troubling her. Pinkie Pie. Loved. Her. Here she was, snuggling tightly with her wife, and she also broke the heart of one of her best friends. She hated this. Dash wished she wasn't so loyal all the time.... She wanted her life focused on Flutter, nopony else.

"Hello Mrs. Dash. I'm new here, just call me Dr. Q" A stallion doctor said, as he entered the room.

"Okay, Mr...Q? Alright. What's the diagnosis?" Dash said, holding onto Fluttershy.

"Well, I am not 100% sure, but I'd say you have a mare sleeping with you." Dr. Q said with a chuckle.

"Well, duh. I know that. Second opinion, please?" Dash said, a bit annoyed.

"Well, it seems like you are suffering huge amounts of depression and homicidal thoughts. The cause is your loyality. Your friend, Pinkie, and her disappearence has gotten you in a bad state. I can fix this instantly." Q said to Dash.

"H-how?" Rainbow said, a bit confused.

"Sign your loyality to the Solar Empire, and to lock away anypony or anyone that defies Celestia." Q said, levitating Rainbow a clipboard. Dash looked at Fluttershy, and back at the paper. She let out a disgruntled sigh. She signed it with her mouth.

Then bad things happened. First off, Fluttershy dissolved into mush. Rainbow screamed. The entire room fell apart, revealing Sugarcube Corner. And finally, Dr. Q also dissolved into...

"DISCORD!" Rainbow said with pure fear. She looked at her own body. The cyan flushed out, leaving only white. Her mane, her mark, everything. The white took her over, and only one thought pierced her mind.

'Celestia will be protected. Luna must die!'

I see what you did there. Very interesting and I suppose the opposite of happy for the newly married couple would be to be jelous of the bride, or one of the brides? What ever, great story keep writing. I do hope you can get the rest of this chapter up though, it does seem cut short. I would suggest writing the story in word and then copy/pasting it in. That should avoid you any glitching.

[Pinkie Pyro]

22956 Give me about an hour.

BEEP BEEP IMMA JEEP

[Pinkie Pyro]

23203 .............what.

[Pinkie Pyro]

22956 Thanks to computer crashes caused by microsoft word, I got three versions I wanna add. Cant add them all, though. So here's a choice.

A. Pinkie's normal, Earthquake hits, Fluttershy is killed, Rainbow gives up element of loyality to bring her back.
B. Bomb goes off, everyone but Dash is killed, Rainbow gives up element of loyality to bring them all back.
C. Remove the Rainbow corruption scene entirely and move onto Rarity, saving Rainbow's for later.

Any wants?

[Peppy Greyskull]

I choose the hidden answer:
F. None of the above they all have a big group hug and decide that Rainbow belongs to everypony cause that's what they want.

You might not know it yet but that is one of your choices

[Dee Bee Doo-wop Cooper]

Id definitely go with A as long as you do actually bring fluttershy back, but I would suggest adding at least a little bit of them enjoying married life together (no I don't mean bedroom life) before that. Also you might want to check that you haven't angered the lords of technology.

[Dee Bee Doo-wop Cooper]

And that thing about using word was my evil twin, honest. (liarjack face)

[Pinkie Pyro]

23505 What happened to D and E?

[titankore]

Really? First you kill off Trixie in a very stupid fashion now Pinky suddenly beats up RD because she had feelings for her and then a doctor says that the cause is Loyalty. I started this story intrigued, then a little sad and confused, and now it's just stupid.

[Pinkie Pyro]

24681 Ugh, do I have to explain EVERYTHING?

One. Trixie is NOT dead. Two. That wasn't Pinkie. It was Pinkamena, Discorded. Three. The Doctor wasn't real. He was Discord.

Blame the chaos.

[Dee Bee Doo-wop Cooper]

I see you went with option A good choice. I do hate myself for suggesting you kill my favorite pony but you promised to bring her back, right . Anyways still very entertaining.

I just wanted to say, good luck, we're all counting on you.

I thought I explained it well enough, I guess not.

Fluttershy never died. She was never there, neither was the hospital or the doctor. It was a Discord mind trick. A trick Rainbow fell for. Now Celestia has 2 of the 6 elements needed for her 'master plan'.

[Super_Big_Mac]

27823 I am, really, quite, so, very, weary, confuseded. I HATE BEING CONFUSED!!! *mind esplodes*

[Rainbow Prime]

Awesome! A Star Trek reference! That just made this story 20000000% cooler!
